           Summary: displays way too high number of files in directory
           Product: filelight

screenshot: wrong number of files displayed by filelight

SUMMARY
For various directories, filelight claim, that there are massive numbers of
plain files.
See e.g. my home directory in the screenshot: 40.501 Files, together 4.4 G
(whereas a simple "ls -al | wc" gives 209, including directories).

Perhaps, the reason is a certain confusion with symlinks/hardlinks.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Start filelight, choose home directory via menue "Open".
2. Mouse hover the non-directory part of the inner ring displayed by filelight
3. check with Unix "ls"

OBSERVED RESULT
Way too many files counted by filelight.

EXPECTED RESULT
Filelight counts in the way Unix itself does.
